- The requirement to recompile is only relevant if an app uses api's
added to 2.4 with a parallel installable 2.2 things can continue
to use the older versions if necessary.
- Given that the api will change in 2.4 as things like cmd line
handling and pango support improve. I don't see alot of options
other than (B)
